My take is that “forced diversity” in media very much isn’t a real thing but there is a trend of diversity with 0 thought put into how characters’ identities affect them & if it makes any fucking sense what they’re doing in the story. And also everybody forgot what tokenism is

Like that thing where somebody’s trying to write an oppression allegory with nonhuman races but there are also humans in it and you can’t have all your humans being white so then they have like a black person calling an elf a slur or something. Why this

Every time I have to sit through a blue person explaining racism to poc because somebody didn’t think very hard about their scifi/fantasy setting I just think to myself… why are they doing that

Somebody in the notes said “because there aren’t any writers of color behind the scenes” bingo! But it is also worth noting that it is possible to write characters who aren’t Just Like You if you know what you’re doing. Maybe talk to more kinds of people. Do more research on topics you’re unfamiliar with before you try to portray them etc

My first biology professor had an ‘inadequacy drawer’ full of things to remind him he wasn’t, in fact, the dumbest and laziest person to ever exist. It was mostly Darwin, notably these two bits:

‘But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.’

‘I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids and today I hate them worse than everything.’

“I am at work on the second vol. of the Cirripedia, of which creatures I am wonderfully tired: I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before, not even a Sailor in a slow-sailing ship.”

-Charles Darwin on a letter to his cousin

Charles Darwin: unexpected depression hero.

I knew about “I am very poorly and very stupid and hate everybody and everything,” but not the others. 

“I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees” is A Mood.

My favorite Darwinism: “I am dying by inches, from not having any body to talk to about insects”.  Hits me right at the center of my hyperfixated soul.

I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before

“The work has been turning out badly for me this morning and I am sick at heart and oh my God how I do hate species & varieties”

Peter Jackson: “then you’re stabbed and go “graaahhh!” and-“

Christopher Lee: “that’s not the sound a person makes when they’re stabbed tho”

Peter Jackson: “…”

Christopher Lee: “you make a “pahh!” sound, like the air is being forced out all at once”

Peter Jackson: (thinking) ‘this guy has stabbed people. He knows the noise because he did it, he did it enough time he knows the noise a person makes’

Chirstopher Lee: *upper crust air of unaffected geniality*

Peter Jackson: “sure yeah okay”
